"We talked about finding a rhythm offensively, be able to possess the ball, hold the ball and move up the field to create some scoring opportunities," said ASU head coach
Jodie Smith.
"We were doing that. Our decisions in the final third were up a little bit. We found the game. You love it when you can scatter the scoring around and everybody can add a contribution to the game. Larissa [White] has been playing really well and creating her shot. That's the first time that she struck a really nice goal today. And, then it was nice for Kat [Farrar] to get her first one of the year as well."
ASU goes back on the road to face Southern on Friday at 4 p.m. in a SWAC match up.Â
